Thats problematic for a lot of reasons. but partly because congress doesnt want to vote for all the reasons i just mentioned. if youre john boehner, youre happier not voting on that libya intervention. six months ago you can say whatever you want and no one throws that vote in your face. the fact of the matter, this is a creep of unilateral authority by the executive branch in sort of military operations, it is also on congress who just sort of are shirking. they havent demanded justification of...

The intervention. >> i wonder if you sketched out the way the right is going to deal with this in the future. the president tonight gave a very detailed, very clear self ren shall, repetitive idea of multilateralism. the idea that american leadership means diplomacy alongside force, and diplomacy means getting the world go along with what we want, which means participate rather than lead from a military perspective. that is multilateralism. thats something hawkish republicans like to criticize i...
